North Korea has launched a new campaign to vaccinate more than 800,000 children and 120,000 pregnant women with UNICEF support, according to the U.N. organization, even as Pyongyang rejects other forms of humanitarian aid.
“The vaccination campaign will reach children and pregnant women in all 210 counties who have missed out on life-saving vaccines since the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020,” UNICEF said in a statement on Tuesday.
